About this cause

We are a local charity dedicated for the last 40 years to improving the emotional and mental health of our community. We support anyone over 5 who comes to us for help: last year, we supported 853 people through face-to-face counselling, and many more through training and peer support. We only charge what people can afford to pay, and all services are free to anyone with a household income under £30,000. We offer counselling for adults, children and family groups, with specialist support for families affected by addiction or perinatal issues; as well as peer support groups and training courses, including anger management, understanding addiction, mindfulness, and parenting skills. We also encourage people into education and employment through supported volunteering placements.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Through the learning gained in the workshops participants will improve their relationship and life skills and enhance their future moving into and upwards in employment. The benefit will also be felt by their families, social circle and work colleagues.
